The new Suffolk University poll says that 1 fourth of the likely voters they surveyed have voted already. Of those:

Bernie: 27%
Warren: 22%
Bloomberg: 17%
Biden: 13%

Tho it would be a small amount and probably doesn't mean much.

Speaking of low sample size barely-ever happens things: The combination of someone winning Iowa and NH usually comes with winning South Carolina. Think there's been one person in the last few decades that won without SC (John Edwards won it in 04)? Anyway, these "you win this state you win the primary" ticks are usually a case of correlation does not equal causation.

Why are his hands so big in that picture? Is that a dig at Trump?

It's the camera lens, but yes, I imagine it's deliberate on the magazine/photographer's part for that reason.

Time (sometimes literally) honored tradition of magazine covers using fisheye lenses for political shoots -

Coulter actually ginned hers up, claiming to be furious with Time for making her look distorted.

I am actually shocked by this, felt like he would at least see what is up in ST. Like at one point he had the delegate lead in the race.

Major props and respect to him for running a good campaign with what he had and bowing out when it was clear he wasnt the nominee. I wish others would drop their ego as well.

I wonder if there is some deal made or external pressure.

I thought for sure Pete would stick around into Super Tuesday

Fundraising issues. Warren would likely be similar if she didn't kick ass in that debate.

Man watching these Bernie rallies, and all I can think about is what if he were stronger with older voters. Would be hard to beat if that were the case.
If he were stronger with older voters, this thing would definitely be wrapped up by ST. Still might be, but his low numbers with them allow Biden to hang around

Surprised Pete is out before Klob. Oh well, he tried.

I hope he sticks around but in a decade or so realizes that having true convictions matter more than buzzwords.

this is going to hurt sanders the most. going to improve biden, bloomberg, and warren's chances of hitting 15% in a loooot of states. in that regard, it probably hurts sanders the most since he's above 15% everywhere and benefitted a lot from others not hitting the line. it also improves warren's argument for staying in the race, which... ok i won't get into it. it'll help sanders at the convention if warren backs sanders. it guarantees sanders loses if she doesn't. but it also is more likely to create a closer race going into the convention, which makes it all the more precarious for sanders. absolutely benefits biden's chances the most.

i'd bet contested convention rises very high on 538's forecast as a result.

Getting your wish of Pete dropping out while Biden's in an upswing might be a case of be careful what you wish for.

Word is that Biden wanted Klob to stay to hold Sanders in MN. Nothing else makes sense. I hope Butti runs again, I liked him.

As I said in the thread on EcetEra Forum, I'm thinking Pete is looking for a role in a possible Biden Administration.
